abstract="A 59-year-old male with a mechanical aortic valve taking warfarin presented to hospital with Brown-Séquard syndrome caused by a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) precipitated by a coughing fit. Guided by a literature review of the risks of administering or withholding anticoagulation in this patient, doctors advised a regimen of warfarin to achieve an international normalized ratio of 1.5 to 2 and dipyridamole (75 mg qid) to protect against thromboembolic complications while minimizing the risk of recurrent SSEH.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
